Inner Nearfield Outer Nearfield
Inner Downfield Outer Downfill

Controller channel allocations

The whole cluster may be controlled from just ½ a Martin Audio DX1 controller set
up for 3-way operation. See

Section A1.5

for further DX1 information.

Power amplifier channel allocations

There are 8 pairs of W8 loudspeakers each requiring high, high-mid & low-mid
power amplifier channels.

8 pairs at 3 bands per pair = 24 amplifier channels required

= 12 x 2ch amplifiers per cluster
